The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin 182 pages

I read the book The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin.  I finished this book on April 4, 2011.  This book is about Mr. Westing's deaf and his will.  Mr. Westings will sends out 18 people to play the westing game, the goal of the game is to find out how murdered Mr. Westing.

What I really liked about The Westing Game was how Ellen Raskin fit every thing in so that you don't see it until the end.  The 18 people that were picked were split into groups of two each given some clues.  As soon as one group finds something out you think that it is one person but then when you learn more about that person you don't think them.  I think that she did a really good job making it harder for you and the characters to find out who the murder is.

This was a really fun book.  It really makes you really think.  I would recommend The Westing Game to other people.
